Client: residential developer. Scope: bulk earthworks, roads and drainage for 240 lots.

Challenge: Three stages had to be released on a fixed sales program, through the wettest summer in several years, on ground that held water.
Solution: We installed the trunk drainage first, staged the earthworks so finished lots shed water, and used machine guidance and daily survey checks so no area had to be reworked after rain.
Outcome: All three stages were released on program, the lots passed council inspection first time, and the developer engaged Tarnwick for stage 4.

"Through a very wet summer, Tarnwick kept every stage moving and handed over lots that passed first time."

Client: local council. Scope: 1.8 km road upgrade and culvert replacement.

Challenge: The road was the only access for nearby farms, so it had to stay open throughout, and the old culvert sat in a creek that floods quickly.
Solution: We built a side track for traffic, replaced the culvert in a dry window between forecast rains, and staged the pavement works in short sections under traffic control.
Outcome: The road stayed open for the whole project and was handed over ahead of the wet season.

"The road never closed, and residents hardly noticed the works."
